I threw in an extra bullet because my cup of love overfloweth. Feel free to forward along if the spirit moves you. â This edition is brought to you by [Momentous](=), my go-to source for creatine and whey protein. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S. â
What made my week ââ[Deadpool & Wolverine & The Bachelorette](=)â by [Ryan Reynolds]() and [Hugh Jackman](). Even in my wildest dreams, I never couldâve seen this one coming. What a great surprise! â
New Paul Graham essay Iâm reading â[The Right Kind of Stubborn](.â I especially like the first half of this essay plus the synopsis in the last two paragraphs. Great distinctions to keep in mind, such that you keep an open mind. â
Case study Iâm digging into â[How I sold 50,000 copies of my self-published book](=).â If you prefer reading, Paul also shares the details of royalties and sales per platform (Kindle, Audible, etc.) [in this blog post](). The full breakdown is under the âMoney, Money, Moneyâ subheading. I personally found the real-world examples of self-publishing vs. traditional publishing economics most interesting, and the âMistakesâ section is worth heeding for anyone considering self-publishing. â
What Iâm using when hiking with Molly â[Springer Dog Water Bottle](). If itâs hot or humid, my dear Molly pup gets parched. I bring water on hikes, but itâs always been at least 50% for naught. I pour it in my cupped hands and lose nearly all of it. Or if I use a collapsible bowl, sheâll drink a few sips and waste the rest. The Springer travel water bottle solves all of these problems. There are many other companies that make similar products, and Iâm sure some are great, but this model was gifted to me and delivers. I have the Growler (44 oz) in Sky Blue. â
What Iâm sharing widely â[Scientists and Experts Endorse MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD](). Read and share this letter, undersigned by 20+ well-known scientists and clinicians, expressing their position that MDMA is now approvable for use with therapy in the treatment of PTSD, given suitable safeguards and post-approval monitoring. The science is compelling. â
Quote Iâm pondering âIf we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long runâand often in the short oneâthe most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.â

P.S. Deal of the Week â [Momentous](=) high-quality supplements! ââ[Momentous](=) offers high-quality supplements and products across a broad spectrum of categories, and Iâve been testing their products for months while training and traveling. Lately, I have been pairing workouts with both their [creatine](=) and [grass-fed whey protein](. Not all creatine is created equal. In fact, [a recent 2022 study]() compared 175 creatine supplements and demonstrated that ~88% contained creatine varieties with limited evidence of either effectiveness or safety. Furthermore, only 8% were third-party certified. I have full confidence in Momentous creatine because (1) Momentous uses Creapure® creatine, which has the strictest lab standards to ensure itâs at least 99.9% pure, and (2) itâs third-party (NSF and Informed Sport) certified. Thatâs quality you can trust. [Click here to get 20% off all Momentous products, including my personal favorites](=).
